An honorarium is desperate for a name She seeks and finds herself a worthy candidate And we don't notice it but she is trembling And we are watching from a distance
The diagnosis wasn't easy but proclaimed Self medication as the order of the day And we don't notice because we aren't listening And we are keeping a safe distance
Don't ask me to give her a Band-Aid for a fracture Sometimes it just feels like a Band-Aid for a fractured life
She fills her days and nights with business and now She finds she cannot sit silently or still And we don't notice that her cheek is glistening And we are close but still there's distance
Don't ask me to give her a Band-Aid for a fracture Sometimes it just feels like a Band-Aid for a fractured life
She's wasting away now She's wasting away now On the outside On the outside And on the inside On the inside
Don't ask me to give her a Band-Aid for a fracture Sometimes it just feels like a Band-Aid for a fractured life
